7 Managing servers with VIOM

To manage a blade server, you have to access the management blade of the
BX600/BX400/BX900 chassis and the IBP modules in the chassis. To
access the management module (MMB) and the IBP modules with VIOM,
you have to specify data for authentication during activation, e. g. passwords
and possibly also protocols and port numbers.

To manage a PRIMERGY rack server, you have to access the iRMC of this
server. To access the iRMC you must specify user name and password.

1. Select the required server. To do this, click the required server in the

VIOM Manageable server group on the left of the VIOM window.

The server is displayed on the Setup tab. The tab view corresponds to
the model and configuration of the selected server.

As long as the server does not belong to the VIOM Managed
server group, only the Setup and Virtual-IO Manager tabs are
activated.

2. Click the Manage button.

If you are going to manage a blade server, you receive a warning that the
previous configuration will be deleted. This means that the default set-
tings following the initial operation of the blade server or even the user-
defined settings in the IBP modules will be deleted. For more information
on this, see section

"VIOM internal operations on blade servers" on page

.

3. If you click Yes, the Authentication dialog box opens. This dialog box

varies depending on the selection in the table on the Setup tab. See

"Authentication dialog box (single blade server)" on page 231

,

"Authen-

tication dialog box (PRIMERGY rack server)" on page 234

and

"Authen-

tication dialog box (PRIMERGY rack server and blade server)" on page
236

.

In this dialog box, you enter the user names/passwords for the man-
agement blade, for the IBP modules, or for the PRIMERGY rack
servers, which VIOM can use to access these components.

By default, the user name admin and password admin are set up for all
components. In this case, you must only enter the user name and
